Since i didnt get to post in the "Cod is Dead ; long live the Sequel" thread before it got locked.
Just my 2 bits please? I am disappointed like everyone, I dont have time for beta patches when the real one gets released I will try the game again. Ok I bought COD and got burned, will I buy the sequel? My answer is: Maybe. After the reviews and not before.
ANd I want reviews from creditable sources. SimHQ I consider to be a quality reviewer. BUt they waited an eternity to review COD.
IF i see the sequel get 7 out of 10 from at least 3 good reviewers. I will buy it. Seems more than fair to me.
Pro Tip: If SimHQ chooses to wait for a game developer to release a few patches before they even attempt to review a game, it's probably better to pass on it. There's some good reviews posted here, but I feel there's some reluctance to give a game a deservedly poor review.
What I want to know, is who could be considered a credible reviewer for flight sims? I certainly don't see the major game review sites such as IGN, Gamespot, or Giant Bomb worth taking seriously. You may have to watch a lot of various Youtube videos, and read forum posts to get a good idea of the game.
All of this assuming that the sequel actually sees the light of day, which at this point, don't you have to wonder?
